Have you been to your doctor and got a check up/physical?
I had a mri n it was fine x
Hi dizzy, You sound just lile myself, things were going fine, started weening myself off them and then.....BANG. Ive come to realise I NEED citalopram, ive tried doing without 3 times now, I cant. Ive been back on them for 19 days now and im still struggling, hopefully theyll kick in soon! All the best.
Thanx luke sorry ur suffering too but it's nice to know I aint aline, did u get the wierd head sensations too n more anxious?
What is citalopram for?
Anxiety
No, I cant say I had the head sensations, but I did get a very bad churning stomach, what felt like a clamp on my heart, increased ringing in my ears and cold chills running thru my body, im pleased to say these physical symptoms have faded dramatically which of course im very pleased about!
That's fab that it's gone hope mine goes soon
How did they go away?
Hi sharisse, They havent completely gone yet but definitely dont hold as much umph as they did. They appeared after I stopped taking cit, theyve weakened since I started taking 20mg's again.
